I have wrote a program that needs a lot of memory. But the reason is that it doesn't need a lot of physical RAM simultaneously, and system swapping is a good solution and it should work well. Previously i was using 4.7-RELEASE, but it seems that it can't work with big enought address space. Init don't want to work with such options in kernel config : options MAXDSIZ="(2048*1024*1024)" options MAXSSIZ="(256*1024*1024)" options DFLDSIZ="(2048*1024*1024)". Application could not allocate more than 1G of memory. That's why I try to use the 5.1.
But under this version of system my program works even worse. Here what the program says after I have set additional options to malloc: dla in malloc(): error: out of memory And this is a vmstat listing at the end of execution: procs memory page disks faults cpu r b w avm fre flt re pi po fr sr ad0 ad2 in sy cs us sy id 0 1 2 609840 108284 10 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 341 0 328 49 1 50 0 1 1 609888 108156 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 340 0 321 49 1 50 0 1 1 609936 108024 11 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 340 0 322 49 1 50 0 2 0 609968 86620 7 0 0 0 31 0 0 69 406 0 726 38 3 59 0 2 0 609968 87732 8 0 0 0 2192 0 0 203 545 0 1424 0 6 94 At this stage application is using only 526 Mb of memory. The system is a 2 Athlon SMP with 1G of RAM and 2G swap. Does anybody know what options and where one should set to solve such a problem? Should I try another version of FreeBSD? _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
